What are the archival qualities of Liquid Light?
Liquid Light and Ag-Plus prints consist of colloidal silver grains in a gelatin binder. This is similar to the chemistry of conventional black and white prints, which are archival if properly processed and adequately washed to remove all processing chemicals. The chance of fading is even less with liquid emulsion prints because the amount of silver is usually greater than in conventional black and white prints. In terms of practical experience, liquid emulsion prints also greatly outlast digital prints. We have prints that are decades old and unprotected from the air, that show no sign of fading or degradation. Back to top I want to make a print on ceramics with Liquid Light but don’t have an enlarger. Can I make a contact print, assuming I have a full-size inkjet negative? Sure you can, providing the surface is flat or has a simple curve, allowing the negative to sit in close contact with the emulsion while the exposure is being made. One word of caution, though.
